I don’t know it, it’s my perception from having wanted to use it in the past. But I don’t remember exactly what the problem was. Oh, it was just broken when I posted apparently.
Anyhow, the point is to make ShapeShift (or alternatives) a place I can conveniently convert to and from NuBits at a reasonable rate, and rely on it having liquidity available at all or at least most times, or else people will not keep going there and use exchanges instead. I imagine some kind of deal would make that more likely.
You may well not believe that is a good idea, but I’d like to know why.
